Tree In The Trail: A Cottonwood Tree Witnesses American History on the Santa Fe Trail for Kids (Ages 10-12)

Great way for the kids to learn. The old books bring up so many more questions and conversations.

this is a wonderful book, which captures the history of the West through the narrative of the tree.

This book was part of my children's geography homeschooling. What a fun, interesting book. it would be even more interesting if it were Canadian :) - but I really enjoyed the book, and so did my children. We colored maps, adding on the places mentioned in the book, drew our own pictures of the tech (flintlock guns, the yoke, stockades), jotted down information in our illustrated notebooks, and it was a fun little addition.

I remember reading this book as a child decades ago. It ages well and I bought it for my grandchildren.

grand daughter read it liked it
